Terem Moffi first-half assist was not enough to earn OGC Nice maximum points, as Lille clawed their way back to a late equaliser.
Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi set up the opener for Nice in their opening league game of the season against Lille but went off injured. The visitors found a late equaliser, forcing a share of the spoils in the premier Ligue 1 encounter of the season.
The curtain-raiser of the 2023/24 Ligue 1 season saw Le Gym host Lille at their Allianz Riviera stadium. They looked to have earned their first three points of the season in front of their own fans, but a late hurrah by the visitors ensured a 'no victor no vanquished' result.
